1.2.344. Deprecated Attribute

The Deprecated attribute marks a class, method, property, class constants and functions that should not be used anymore. The element is still usable in the current version, and it might be removed in a future version.

The full description of the deprecation include #[Deprecated(reason: '', replacement: '')]. The reason parameter is a human readable reason for the change; the replacement parameter is a replacement suggestion. Only the attribute is used in this rule.

<?php

class x {
     #[Deprecated]
     function foo() {}
}

$x = new x;
$x->foo();

?>
